    Hello guys,

    I just built a website using this awesome Hueman theme, actually I’m new in this website things (this is my first website).
    So I want to ask some newbie questions:
    – Do I need to install and using child theme?
    – How to change font and font size? Because the standart font looks too bold (I want to use font like Hueman theme sample)
    – How to make next/previous icon looks like Hueman theme sample? (with numbers)
    – How to setup sharing content in this theme? (After write a content, it will automatically share the content into facebook, twitter and other social media)

    I think that’s for now.
    *Sorry for my bad English

    Thank you. ??

  • 1. You should use a child theme for making any changes to a theme, whether they be CSS or PHP changes. That way you won’t loose the changes when you update your parent theme. It’s a good practice to use a child theme.
    2. Hueman demo is using Titillium font. In order to set it, go to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling -> Font. It’s called Titillium Web, Latin (Self-hosted).
    3. Install this plugin in order to have paginated list of pages: WP-PageNavi
    4. Use this plugin to automatically share new posts to social media: NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster

    Hello Kosta92, thank you for your answer ??

    About child theme, if the parent theme already has plugins & contents, it won’t be loose right?
    Where I could learn about installing Hueman child theme & using it for my website?

    Thank you so much.

    Themes, plugins, and content do not correlate with each other. WordPress is using code to mix them up and display to us, the users, but they do not have anything in common.
    For example, this is how my local WordPress install looks like: Screenshot
    You can see different folders for plugins and themes. Content is stored as tables in a separate database on a server. When you delete a plugin, nothing happens to a theme, and vice versa.

    Child themes are not fully functional themes. They are just folders in which you copy a file from a theme (for example style.css) and change it however you want. That change will reflect on a website, but it will not touch the original file in a parent theme. It will stay in the child theme’s folder, even when you update the parent theme.
    Hueman also has it’s own child theme which you can download here. After you install that theme, it will show up as a Hueman Child theme in the Appearance -> Themes. Go ahead and activate it. The parent theme will be deactivated but you MUST NOT delete it! OK, when you install it, you will get a new folder called hueman-child-master in your htdocs -> wp-content -> themes folder on a server. There will be three files inside, a screenshot, functions.php, and style.css. Whenever you need to add a PHP function or a custom CSS code, you can paste it and change it inside those two files. You can also copy other PHP/CSS files from a parent theme if you need to change them, but if you don’t need do not copy them. I think that’s all there is to the child themes, at least for you as a beginner.

    Here are some good resources about child themes:
    WordPress Codex
    WPbeginner
    Hongkiat
